I have been disengaged from SD7 for quite a while, to save my sanity, and my relationship with DH. She is only here EOW - Thurs evening to Monday morning but if you look in the dictionary for the word " Drama Queen ", SD7's picture is next to it. She's an angry, attention seeking, jealous , completely annoying dwarf. Me, DH and SS10's weekends regularly end up in tantrums, tears, and me just being so pissed off that I want to set myself on fire. She LOVES to report anything I say, or do, or wear, to BM who is just DYING for any news from our house. She dropped the perfect little spy from her crotch.

So I disengaged. I just never told SD 7 why. I am wondering if I should tell her, and how. She is 7, but mentally and emotionally more like a 5 year old. I thought of something like this : SD7, you know I have not been paying attention to you or have done anything for you in a while, and it is because you are not behaving, you don't appreciate anything I do for you, you have to be the center of attention at all times and I just don't like it. When you get older, and hopefully become better behaved and listen to what your father says, maybe we can have some fun together. For now, please go with anything you need or want to your father, not me.

I would love to tell her that I absolutely despise how she tattles everything that goes on in our house to BM, but not sure to find the right words that her little pea brain can understand. Anybody have any thoughts on that ?
